I knew a guy that would restore antique tractors. He would buy them with stuck engines and would get them onto his flat bed trailer. He would remove the sparkplugs and put in MMO in all of the cylinders.

His trick was to then put the tractor in any gear and he have the fastening chains loose on the trailer so it allowed slack enough to rock the tractor. Typically on the drive to get the tractor home with all of the stops and starts it would start rocking back and forth enough to loosen up the engine. Easy Peezie..
